Avengers....Cats?

I don't have much to say in this post, except.....would you look at this!!! The Avengers....as CATS!!! Haha!!

The Hulk, Iron Man, Black Widow, Captain America, Thor, and Hawkeye all depicted as cats!!! Strangely makes me think of Puss in Boots from Shrek.

Another Take on the Portrayal of Comic Book Women X 2

So my last post was just not enough for me. So I've decided to do another post on another video or 2. Here we go!

This video that is about sexism in comic books and how women yet again are perceived as these ridiculously fantasized perfect beings of sexual nature. Umm...well it isn't extreme fantasy fiction for nothing!

Are you for real?!?! One of the guys in the video says at one point basically says that the way Batman looks is a realistic look for a man or is more toned down...have you seen what he wears, there is no imagination to what is underneath that! Yes, he is fully covered, but his armor just follows every bulge, crease, and crack that you would see if he were wearing something more revealing, same goes to the majority of the male population of superheroes. Just because they are completely covered does not mean it isn't revealing. Which is fine! I have no objectives to it, and yes, to a degree, it is eye candy. But I'm not really one to read comic books because of what the superhero or any of the characters are wearing, I'm reading for the story line and the art. But that's my personal view. Tell me about yours!

In this second video that I've decided to post here is more about the argument that there isn't sexism in comic books. Finally! Somebody with a different view! Watch and let me know what you think of this guys view.


There is this one last video I would love for my fellow geeks to check out and let me know what you think about it in the comments below. Unfortunately, I am unable to upload it, so I decided to link it. The audio isn't very good, but, man, does she get my blood boiling. She doesn't like to read western comic books because of how much sexism is in them so she sticks with anime and manga comics....umm, ok. I have nothing against either, and I'm not going to say much, because I know only know some about the manga and anime community, but not a lot. But what I do know is that the women in both manga or anime are either wear pretty much nothing or something super skimpy, not much different in the western comics. Also, many of the manga and anime comics I have read the women are usually subject to some kind of submission whether it be to a man or another woman. Hmm, sounds familiar. There is a whole bunch more I could get into about this video, but I would like to hear what you think.

Another Take on the Portrayal of Comic Book Women

I stumbled upon a few videos about how women are portrayed in comic books. I get so annoyed that people only look at the negative side of comic books, or only point out some of the part of the problem and not all of it. OR...they decide that they are gonna think for everyone and don't realize that we all have our own opinion! Here are a couple of the videos.

This first video is of people being interviewed on if women of comic books are being degraded and if they are good role models. Check it out!
 


This next video show's makes me annoyed, it's showing the darker side of comic books but only in a way to make women look like a pathetic victim. Um, hello, male superheroes have had unnaturally sadistic things done to them just as much as their female counter parts have, it's just nobody talks about it!!! Yes, there have been mutilation, rape, and other gruesome deeds done to these heroines, but the same have happened to male heroes...if you're gonna get upset about the violent nature of comic books then get upset about all of it, not just a piece of it. Anyway, before I blow up, check this video out and tell me what you think.
